Seasons Greetings from the CTLT Indigenous Initiatives team!

As the winter term winds down, we take time to reflect upon the good things we have...like our relationships with all of you! The CTLT Indigenous Initiatives team wishes our teaching and learning community a happy December!

Below are a few brief announcements before we send you off to a safe, warm, and joyous holiday season!

Registration spots are still available in this workshop!

Through the What I Learned In Class Today project, participants will learn how to intentionally approach Indigenous content and topics in the classroom and will learn how this can make a supportive and positive learning experience for all students.

**Please note: This workshop requires participants to engage with asynchronous materials prior to the workshop, including watching the Original Student Speaks Video and reading two articles (approximately 30 minutes of pre-work). Within the synchronous portion of the workshop we will be screening the What I Learned In Class Today Renewed Faculty Perspectives Video, followed by a discussion. 

Do you have questions about how to thoughtfully integrate Indigenous content and representation into your course work? Curious about how to offer meaningful land acknowledgements in online meetings or events at UBC? Indigenous Initiatives‘ Virtual Coffee Drop-ins are a great place to explore these topics, connect with others on the same learning path, or just get to know our team.

Please register for any of the drop-ins below. Looking forward to seeing you! 
    a.    Tuesday, December 14 from 11am-12pm -- Register
    b.    Thursday, January 6, 2022 from 11am-12pm -- Register

More Virtual Coffee dates for 2022 are coming soon! Keep your eye on the CTLT Indigenous Initiatives Events page for more info.
